The terrible truth about organizing...

I'll just admit it right up front, I'm not an organized person. I am constantly losing things. When I'm in the grocery store, I can't remember what's in the pantry so often I end up buying what I already have for a meal. I know just what you're thinking......wastrel! Guilty! Ashamed! But I feel much better having gotten it out in the open like that! Whew!

Well, my friend Donetta inspired me to organize my pantry. As you can see, I have been blessed to have a lot of pantry space. So it's a double shame that it is all bulging with stuff,I don't even know what's behind those doors.

I did not take a before picture, because I was too ashamed! I had so much that was out of date that it was horrible. Hopefully, now I've turned over a new leaf and I'll look in the organized pantry before I venture off to the grocery store!

Here's the top shelves.........

And here's the bottom shelves! You can't imagine how much better it looks! I actually can know at a glance what I have and what I need.

I do hope this lasts.......now I can get to work on the other two parts of the pantry. I can't promise this will last....I wish I could, but i know myself too well.

Thanks, Donetta!!!!!
